Speaker 1: the seventeen was something I want to you know, kind

214
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: of showing a different light.

00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 4: I saw you talking about that saying like how you

216
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 4: feel like the seventeens could be as popular as the

217
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: other shoes, getting you know, rotations of different variations in

218
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: different color ways.

219
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: It could be, man, just just popping and just just

220
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: cracking as some of the other ones. One hundred percent, man,

00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: you coming up and getting to come behind what they

273
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 4: did and then get to kind of pay homage in

274
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 4: in your own way sitting next to them.

275
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,240

Speaker 2: these industries no matter what it is.

278
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 5: I feel like the best people are the ones that

279
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: know the history before them.

280
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,199

283
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: every every game, every year. Tell me the feeling bro like,

284
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: like you was somebody.

285
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 4: I'm sure that like all of us Chicago kids, you

286
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: win at some point to the foot lockers or whatever

287
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: mall or whatever.

288
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: That athletes for I worked at Athletes said, I just said, ah,

289
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: think I told that to about it. I used to

290
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: work at foot Action.

291
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 4: So you so you know the vibe of like especially

292
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: here in Chicago, because in Chicago I feel like it

293
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: was a little bit not to say that didn't happen

294
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: all over the country in the world, but I felt

295
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: like in Chicago was a little bit different with the lines,

296
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: with the people like we lived it, people cutting class

297
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: and skipping school to go get the shoes, then showing

298
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: up with their partners with the mismatch. I got one pair,

299
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: he got one pair, We both wearing a mismatching like,

300
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: so like, how did that feel to be on a cusp?

301
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: Like Jordan then built out a whole pop up for you.

302
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: You got the whole treatment going like you could be

303
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: from Chicago and then we live, but we live, and

304
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: so what we saw and now it's like it's your turn.

305
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 4: They about to do this for you, They about to

306
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: line up, They about to be like they already saying

307
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 4: their bootlegging the shoe and faky, like, how do that

308
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 4: feeld know?

309
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, this is your joint. No,

310
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: it's amazing.

311
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 5: Man.

00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Earlier today my friend Rick came through. He he gave

313

Speaker 1: just getting better, you know, like man, trial and error.

336
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: My parents they didn't want me to go to school

337
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: for art because you know, at the time, my parents

344
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: like to get to the money now for sure. Yeah,

345
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,800

346
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: life where yeah, you just gotta keep keep going. Man,

347
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna fall down, you gotta get back up.

348
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: Man, how was that having your Nigerian parents they wanted

349
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: you to do something bigger or whatever, but like, you

350
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: got this passion for art. So how did it feel,

351
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: like you know what I'm saying, when you when you

352
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 4: started your first brand and you present.

353
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: It's like pops, Mom, like you know what I'm saying,

354
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: I got this, Like how was that like? Leading up

355
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: to you scared to tell them, like how was it? Well?

356
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, my dad passed away when I was like

357
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: fifteen in high school and it was just my mom

358
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to, you know, do right by

359
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: her mom. I got two little sisters, I got an

360
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: older brother like you as well know. But it was

361
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: just like a lot of things I did both, you know,

362
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people don't do that now.

363
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, these kids growing up now and nothing saying

364
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: old or nothing. It's just like I feel like the.

365
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 4: New old and bro, I'm definitely yeah. I definitely that college.

366
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't know what age groups and stuff.

367
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: I see this crazy now, but you know, when we

368
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: were coming up, we would do both. Like man, I

369
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: would go to school and I had a job, you know,

370
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: like I had I was on the basketball team, but

371
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: I still had a job. I went to school, like

372
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: you could do multiple things, you know, to push your

373
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: passion and whatnot. Sometimes you have to do what you

374
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: don't want to do to do what you would like

375
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: to do or you know, and it's just like I

376
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: try to practice that like oh man, like it's a

377
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: privilege and how our word things like I get to

378
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: do this versus I gotta do this and whatnot. So

379
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I think again, just with time,

380
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: like things things can change. Just got to keep at

381
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: it and whatnot. You know, tell us about mister young

382
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: oh Man shot mister young Man. That dude. He changed

383
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: my life. Mananged, I was gonna quit drawing, and he

384
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: was like, man, bro like don't you know like people

385
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: like man, people designed shoes for Nike, you know, people

386
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: make movies and comic book like, man, you could do whatever,

387
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Like why would you stop? Because you know, at the time,

388
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: I was in high school and I ain't know you

389
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: could be no artist or nothing. I've never been to

390
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: a gallery before. I never really probably been in like

391
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: one of the two museums on field trips. I didn't

392
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: know like people actually could take something with this talent

393
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And it was just like, man, what he saw.

394
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have my sketch book no more. He was

395
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: always like, you know, he literally stopped me. He was like, yo,

396
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: let me show you. And his brother worked for Nike,

397
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: and he was like, man, my brother did this and this,

398
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: and then he showed me the boom. Doocks you know

399
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: the dude from the boom? Do he from a homewood?

400
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: That's why on the TV show, I think it say

401
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Crest the Wood, like he made a heat combined Hazel

402
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: Crest and Homewood together they Crestlewood. That's fine. I did

403
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: not know that. Man.

404
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: He changed my life.

405
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: Man, Like if I wasn't doing I was doing, I

406
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: would be a history teacher because of him, because I

407
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: just know the important to just telling people's past, like man,

408
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: not not you know, knowing what happened before you. And

409
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: that's why infinite archives. We just always try to pay

410
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: homage to the past and like man like like y'all

411

Speaker 4: be like time as little brothers on that he he

468
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: walked so we could run.

469
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: Tell us about the pivot to fashion, when you when

470
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: you pivot and more into fashion and about Falling start.

471
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: Oh man, damn, how y'all know about Falling the Stars

472
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: research on that I met Man, I was a brand

473
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: it kind of I started and sneakers, you know, I

474
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: was a collector. I just love shoes and you know,

475
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: you want to get fresh man. You got the shoes.

476
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: Now you got to get the gear and whatnot. So

477
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: it was more so like instead of complaining about what

478
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: I didn't see. And again, I think Falling Stars was

479
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: kind of the seeds to Infinite Archives. Falling Stars was

480
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: like it was for to pay homage to people that

481
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: people forgot about it and whatnot. You know, Like I

482
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: think the first shot we made was what could have

483
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: been with Kevin Garnett and Stephan Marberry And it was like,

484
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, Stephan Marberry left and he did he didn't

485
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: stay there. It was more so like they had a

486
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: dynamic duel, like what could have happened? Yeah, like if

487
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: these dudes would have had some more years together. Yeah,

488
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: like that would have been crazy. So it was more

489
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: so just and informing people, you know, about the past

490
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot. So I want to make things with purpose,

491
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Like I don't just want to make things just to

492
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: make things, you know, It's more so like if I

493
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: got a reason to.

494
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love how the world has has in such

495
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: a way because we never thought about like we wanted

496
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: to shoot. We never thought about like who put in

497
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: details to make the shoe or we want the iPhone.

498
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 5: We never thought about who put the apps on that

499
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 5: make it possible for.

500
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: It to be Now in this day and age, man,

00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: got somebody from Chicago on their teams. And I always

508

729
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: and watching those old DVDs and remembering them even like

730
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280

731
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: even jazz and whatnot, and man, it was just a

732
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: combination of all these things. I was like, oh, how

733
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: can I make my own version of that and it

734
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: but still pay homage to the past. But the whole

735
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: thing was past, present, future, even for the next generation.

736
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,280

805
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 4: like for it to be our first, that was the

806
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: one team that all of us can come together and

807
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 4: we can we can relate, like bro from that point on,

808
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 4: I never played on the team like that again in

Speaker 4: my career, you know what I'm saying, Like never, Like

810
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm talking about from the.

811
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: Basis of like how together we were we were. You

812
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: gotta because once you get to.

813
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 4: Other teams like once you get twenty three twenty four, like,

818
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,799

819
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 4: our best friends are in college, so it was like

820
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: if you see one of us, you don't see at

821
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 4: least two others. And we was each other's homeboy, so

822
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 4: it wasn't like we had that buffer where we had

823
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: our parlers because everybody was our punic was in college.

824
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,239

825
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 4: for real, it didn't matter if it was on the

826
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 4: road or in la if you saw one of us,

827
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,200

828
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: More of us. Like we're all over there, seven to

Speaker 1: eight deep.

830
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: So it was like it was I didn't have that

Speaker 1: the shoes and stuff like that. And I just told him.

867
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, do you think you could cut them?

868
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: He's like, what do you mean cut him? I said like,

869
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: do you think you can make him a low top?

870
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: And he just he was like, yeah, I think we could.

871
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: Do a low toploded his mind when you said, and

872
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: after that it was they made him in the low tops.

873
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: That's the year when I got the five lows, the

874
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: nine lows, the two lows all that.

875
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 5: That's when they came with the red and blue jump.

876
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: I remember when you had them. We gotta wear different

877
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: colored shoes. You get more shoes made for.

878
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 6: You if you wear different colors. Like if you get

879
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 6: a black beer made for you, you know how they

880
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 6: make it with black beer. You get black beer and

881
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 6: they'll make a whole bunch of pairs of that shoe

882
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 6: for you. So I was like, we got to mix

883
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 6: it up.

884
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: We gotta get different colors.

885
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 6: We gotta get white, we gotta get black, we gotta

886
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 6: get purple and white, we gotta get white and gray.

887
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: So I was trying to figure out, see.

888
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 6: To get more dudes made of the same kinds.

889
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: You know. But he's what he's saying is all of

890
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: us was doing. So what I would do.

891
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 4: They would send us a couple of samples during like

892
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: during the summer light right before the season, and I

893
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 4: would always get these three and then when they come

894
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 4: I would say, these two don't work. So you got

895
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: to send me some of some other sids to the

896
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 4: other sits, and I'm gonna send some other colors with them.

897
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 4: So now I'm gonna have like six instead of three,

898
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: six different flavors instead of three. So that's what he's

899
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: speaking of. Honestly, it's funny. That's what I did with the.

00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, man, Thank y'all, Mike Bibby, everybody, Mike Baby,

931
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 4: appreciate you, bro.

932
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: One thing Bibby didn't say, like back in our day,

933
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: it's not like today. It's like they can wear any

934
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: colored shoe they want. They can be red and be

935
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: wearing light green or any yellow. And back in our day,

936
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: it kind of had to match with our jersey, and

937
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: it had to if one player wore black shoes, the

938
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: whole team had to wear black shoes, whether you had

939
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: white jerseys or not. And if you wore your red,

940
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: you have to you have to wear black shoes. It

941
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: was just that was just the rule of the lead

942
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: back then. But now you see these kids now they

943
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: have bright orange yellow pen like they wear any kind

944
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: of color that they want and not matching with the

945
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 2: actually what they got on. But back then we had

946
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: we was kind of limited, like Bibby was trying to

947
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: get into, it was like limited to that because Sacramento

948
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: they wore black shoes with their white.

949
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: Joey Yeah, every they with the purple jersey.

950
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 2: And that's why he was saying, like, man, we gotta

951
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: switch to I guess some white shoes. So I can

952
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: get some more flavors coming.

953
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: Well, you know. With that being said, got to ask you, guys, man,

954
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: what's your favorite Jordan Q And what's your favorite Jordan man? Man?

955
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: My favorite or your favorite pe? Rather, what was your

956
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: favorite p that you because you had a lot of

957
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: p an't have had a lot of pees, So I

958
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: don't know. That's tough. I think I think I got mine,

959
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: But I want to hear what y'all gotta go to.

960
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 4: Like Phoenix, Phoenix, probably the Clippers, depend on which one

961
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: Phoenix the Clippers.

962
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: And then New York. Okay, what mottol was it? It

963
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: was all of them.

964
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 4: Like I had fives, I had twos, I had had three,

965
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 4: like I went crazy like and the thing to make

966
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 4: those specific teams the best for me because they didn't

967
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: come those color ways. Like when I was in Miami

968
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 4: that was too close to the bulls, even though I

969
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 4: had the yellow. I had some crazy joints with some

970
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 4: yellow in them. But like when I was in Phoenix,

971
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 4: like that was foreign to anything Jordan had ever seen

972
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 4: purple orange, like you know what I'm saying. Then when

973
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 4: you went to New York, blue orange and white like

974
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 4: that was that was different than anything they had played with,

975
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 4: so it was like anything I got was like, oh snap,

976
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 4: these are crazy now. Even when I got through Orlando,

977
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 4: the white and blue thirteens, the white and blue, the

978
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: black and blue thirteens, I had, like it was just

979
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 4: different flavors.

980
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: Didn't you ask some like white and red nines too?

981
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, hell yeah. I think those clippers. Those were

982
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 4: the clippers. Those were crazy, yeah. And I actually had

983
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 4: a pair of those that when I was working for

984
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 4: the Piss and Stanley Johnson wore in the game. I

985
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 4: gave him a pair of wear in the game. It

986
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: was was like, yeah, those was those was crazy too.

987
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 5: Mine was the the orange and white. Jordan's them was

988
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 5: like the best ones.

989
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: Even like how the soul it was clear and kind

990
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: of over the orange.

991
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: I had an all black per trimmed and orange had

992
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: the orange twenty three.

993
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: On the back and I didn't know that was orange

994
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: orange and it.

995
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 5: Had like the orange stitch on them.

996
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: You said the thirteen nine thirteen like that.

997
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: I had the thirteen and I had some twenties like

998
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: that because my year in Phoenix was when the twenties

999
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 4: came out, so I had them custom twenties. I wore

1000
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 4: the regular ones at the All Star Game for the

1001
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: three point contest, but like when the playoffs came around,

1002
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 4: I had white and purple. Remember that strapped went around

1003
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 4: ankle and everything. White black ones with the orange trim

1004
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: and the purple trim with all the little you know.

1005
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: The little graffitia or whatever it was on the set.

1006
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you a good moment. I know you probably

1007
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: attended this great moment for us being on Jordan brand.

1008
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, you get these joy and have

1009
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: twenty three y'all on it. Yeah, the first time I

1010
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: seen twenty one oh on the I was like, this

1011
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: is crazy.

1012
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 5: We talked my numbers on this.

1013
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 4: We actually talked about that in Greece because it was

1014
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 4: like to me, that was when being on the brand

1015
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 4: separated yourself from anybody else.

1016
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't care. Everybody grew up. We all grew up.

1017
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: Like I get it. Business is business.

1018
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 4: When you get to the league, you gotta sign where,

1019
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 4: you gotta sign with this person off the most money

1020
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 4: you gotta go, So everybody can't be Jordan, and Jordan

1021
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 4: might not want everybody.

1022
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: That's the part of it too.

1023
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: So it's like but bruh, Like he said, we got chosen,

1024
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 4: We was blessed, We was Jordan Brand. Never in a

1025
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 4: million years did I feel like like that was the difference, bro,

1026
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 4: Like when we got them pees, I didn't need Like

1027
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 4: it would have been great to be good enough to

1028
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 4: get a signature athlete and get like how Mellow or

1029

00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 4: Our own shoes anyway, like by getting those pees and

1033

Speaker 4: getting them in our team colors with our numbers on them,

1034
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 4: and like even after that, even beyond that, when you

Speaker 4: I hadn't made you. It was like, how have we

1084
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 4: been in the same situations but just been missing each other?

1085
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying that it was like everything

1086
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 4: happened when it was supposed to. It chimed in and

1087
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 4: so like for me, it's just it's like you say,

1088
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 4: this is the crib, Bro, I'm at the crib in

1089
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 4: Chicago and it's it's dope to me to know that

1090
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 4: in any type of way that we had some type

1091
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 4: of impact or whatever, cause it's like we didn't hear

1092
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 4: plenty of stories and different things that Like, man, Bro,

1093
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 4: like I'm talking to Toylla and we did something with

1094
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 4: him and it was like just hear in different ways

1095
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 4: where you things that we do or have.

1096
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: Done had no clue the impact that it had.

1097
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 4: And like you know what I'm saying, you a walking

1098
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 4: testament to show like that you never know who you impacted.

1099
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 4: Like somebody gonna see this when we doing it, it

1100
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 4: is going to pack them some way, like watching your

1101
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: journey and hearing about how you as an artist you

1102
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 4: didn't you didn't know, you didn't raised up and made

1103
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 4: some of yourself and did and made good on it.

1104
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: So like, Bro, we salute you, and you know what

1105
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 4: I'm saying, and we privileged to be here, to be

1106
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 4: here to help you, and to know that we had

1107
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 4: any part in this in any type of way.

1108
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: Bro, real talk one hundred percent.

1109
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, no, it's definitely a blessing. I'm going to

1110
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 5: ask you a question back to the shoe.

1111
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, was this something that you wanted to have on

1112
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: the shoe or put on the shoe that you had

1113
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 2: to scrap.

1114
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: Nah, not really, to be honest, man, Jordan Brown, To

1115
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: be honest, man, this is like one of the perfect

1116
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: I hate using the word perfect. It was just a

1117
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: great collaboration, man. Yeah, like we both went back and

1118
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: forth to design team and a market and everyone really

1119
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: chimed in, like I didn't do this by myself, man, Like,

1120
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: it was one of those things. I had some ideas,

1121
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: they asked some ideas, and we kind of tried to

1122
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: welp them together. Like the whole point I think collaboration

1123
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: is like, oh, you would do this again. Both parties

1124
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: got what they wanted out of the shoe, and we

1125
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: also talked about everything, and it was one of those

1126
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: things like, yeah, couldn't ask for a better story and

1127
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: partner with this and whatnot. And the man, I think

1128
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: it made a world of difference just being open to

1129
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: that both. Besides, so now it's been great. So I

1130
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: think it turned out exactly how I wanted it to.

1131
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm very excited.

1132
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 5: How is it like like you just mentioned, like, man,

1133
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 5: my last sixteen just went to Lebron. You watching these guys.

1134
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: On TV, like you've seen us on TV coming up.

1135
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: You've seen Lebron, Bibi, all these guys, Eddie Curry.

1136
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: And now it's crazy you're in the rim of that

1137
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: man you about when I first talked to you, Like, man,

1138
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: it's crazy, but just talk to.

1139
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 5: That's a real moment, Like not for sure, but.

1140
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: It's also bad. I always say like, man, with time,

1141
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: and hey, man, it's gonna be what it's gonna be. Man,

1142
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: So I knew, like eventually I was even with me

1143
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: having an art gallery and selling art to a lot

1144
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 1: of people. Man, I used to listen to their music

1145
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: back in the day. Now I'm selling them art. Or

1146
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: I used to watch them play basketball or whatever football.

1147
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm selling them art, you know. Or they rocking

1148
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: my clothes, or they rocking the shoes I'm making, or

1149
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm helping them consult with their business. It's like it's

1150
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: different ways to partner up with people and make things happen,

1151
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: versus just being like, hey, I ain't make it to

1152
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 1: the NBA, you know, but y'all inspired me to do

1153
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: other things in life too. It wasn't like I didn't

1154
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, that didn't stop my goals and dreams or whatnot.

1155
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: So I always tell people like there's multiple ways to

1156
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: work with your idols and whatnot. In fact, I think

1157
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: recently a few years ago, I worked with a theaster

1158
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: Gates and Hiroshi who he does fragment and he's from

1159
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: Japan and whatnot. We made this charity T shirt. We

1160
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: raised money for the community for Chicago on the South Side,

1161
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: for the Rebuild Foundation. I got to work with two

1162
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: people that I respect and idolize, make something a great design,

1163
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: raise money for charity, do something for my community. And

1164
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: it was like, man, that's possible. How many times can

1165
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: someone say that that they got to check all these

1166
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: boxes all in one project. And that kind of showed

1167
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: me this is possible. You can do these things as

1168
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: long as you're being intentional with it and whatnot. So

1169
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: that's what I try to move with everything, like, oh,

1170
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: it's possible.

1171
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 4: You know, hey, tell me this, like when did you

1172
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 4: first come with the idea to come out with infinite archives,

1173
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 4: like you had the other situation, and how did you

1174
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 4: how did you progress into like I want to do

1175
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 4: infinite archives. I think I was I want to say frustrated.

1176
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 4: I'll say yeah, I'll say frustrated.

1177
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: I was frustrated with the time of people just wearing

1178
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: things and not knowing what it is, like just because

1179
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: the celebrity got it on, now they want it. But

1180
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: then you ask them a question like ay man, what

1181
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: what rock band is that? Or what logo is that?

1182
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

1183
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 5: And they be like, I don't know.

1184
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: This person will here's something that's like, you know, it

1185
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: just wasn't sitting well with me. Instead of being the

1186
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: old person complaining about it and just you know, being mad,

1187
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, let me try to do something

1188
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: about it and let me feel make something that I

1189
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: feel good about it and hopefully other people feel the

1190
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,479
Speaker 1: same way. Where it's like, oh, let me inform people

1191
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: about the past and when we can make product that

1192
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: makes sense like this Jordan's seventeen, Like I feel like

1193
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: it made sense two thousand and two, that's the year

1194
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: where we were on.

1195
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's dope that you made. You know,

1196
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 4: part of the brand is like how you take different

1197
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 4: years and you spotlight you know what I'm saying, it's

1198
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 4: part of I think that I think that's fired, you

1199
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like you said, because it speaks

1200
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 4: to the you know, you're still educating and informing and

1201
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 4: letting them know what you you know, what was going

1202
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 4: on at this point. But like like you said, it

1203
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 4: give you opportunities like two thousand and two to go

1204
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 4: back to the to the to the seventeen and make

1205
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 4: it capsule of that and then you know, tell stories.

1206
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 4: So I think the way that you you you know,

1207
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 4: choose different years and go back and represent that, that's

1208
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 4: fired to me.

1209
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:38,279

1284
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: some people don't, you know, fork and again changing our minds,

1285
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: sat till we get to do this first and saying

1286
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm tired. I don't want to get on the plane.

1287
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: We know, man, you know even East, saying like going

1288
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: into all these places we have been to, it's like

1289
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: some people don't even lead the neighborhood sometimes. So I

1290
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: got to be very fortunate and I'm happy, and I

1291
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: try to use the most of my time when I'm

1292
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: there because I don't know if I'm gonna be back here,

1293
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: like so I try to make the most of my

1294
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: time while I got it and whatnot.

1295
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you knocked Jordan Brand collab off your bucket list? Yeah,

1296
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 2: what is your next dream collaboration that you would like

1297
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 2: to pursue or.

00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: Dream collaboration and maybe a museum or something one day

1299
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: working with some museums, like finding a way to get

1300
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: more people in those spaces and whatnot, like being that

1301
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: bridge and people just don't know like when we was

1302
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: growing up, like I didn't know like that you could

1303

Speaker 1: just go to these galleries and openings and museums and whatnot.

1304
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: And like a shout out to Rashid Johnson. He got

1305
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: an amazing show at the Google Hind right now, and

1306
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,480

1311
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: you got to take inspiration from when you see these

1312
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,479
Speaker 1: things and know that it could be possible and whatever

1313
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: you're doing and whatnot. So that's why I like, I

1314
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: just try to stress that a lot. So yeah, that'd

1315
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: be that'd be great.

1316
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 5: Let's go here. Top five Jordan.

1317
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,520

00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,840

1338
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 4: So I want to ask you this when you like

1339
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 4: you talked about the Naike Department of Archives and how

1340
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 4: it influenced from your Eastern age and.

1341
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: She hands us to shoot.

1342
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 4: Want you to, you know, tell me about what what

1343
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 4: what what you saw with the at the at the

1344
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 4: Nike Department of Archives that influenced it.

1345
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, first of all, the box, like how

1346
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: they handle like older products and whatnot and older like models,

1347
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: and like where the gloves came from. With the gloves.

1348
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,439
Speaker 1: They gave these black gloves. You gotta handle the shoe

1349
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: with the gloves. And it was I was like, okay, cool.

1350
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm an art dealer and we you know,

1351
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: we hired these companies to deliver the art and they

1352
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: say it's white glove delivery. So I was like, oh man,

1353
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,479
Speaker 1: we gotta treat this like it's a relic a piece

1354
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: of art. You said, white glove. Yeah, yeah, white gloves.

1355
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: So we put white gloves in there with the little

1356
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: brand in the DNA and like again, it was one

1357
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: of those things. I just like the history of it.

1358
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: When you go to DNA building, see all these old pictures,

1359
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: even a Wilson like talking to MJ and like them

1360
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: talking about the shoe and again to your point about

1361
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: the feeling, I just wanted to get at man. It

1362
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: really felt like okay, man, like these stories need to

1363
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: get out and whatnot. And it was like that was

1364
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: like the main thing. The Archive Building definitely. It's like,

1365
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: again that's one of my favorite places. Like if I'm

1366
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: on campus, I'm like, can I go to the our

1367
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Eye Building? Sometimes I can. Yeah, It's like can I go?

1368
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Cause it's like I just love history, man, Like I

1369
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: want to know and man, like you never know what

1370
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: can like spark your ideas, like just seeing something that

1371
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: and that's what I think right now. Information is so

1372
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: readily available with like this infinite scroll on all these

1373
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: social media things that like everybody sees everything, so they

1374
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: think they know everything. But the information is going so

1375
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: fast that now you just saw a glimpse of it,

1376
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: but you don't dive into the information really, so you

1377
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: kind of know, but you don't. And it's like, man,

1378
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: taking the time to like learn that. The Archive Building,

1379
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: it's like you in a capsule, you know, like you

1380
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: can see all this right around you and you can

1381
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: look into it and jot it down and I can,

1382
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, follow up on a lot of these things.

1383
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,000
